Wahoo Fitness Tickr X Heart-Rate Sensor

Train Free, Train Perfect with the Wahoo Tickr X. This ultimate workout wearable is the latest addition to the Tickr family, and it tracks workouts with and without your phone. The Tickr X's memory feature captures heart rate and calorie burn even if your phone isn't connected - perfect for those days where you forget your phone or want to leave it in your gym bag. It also tracks additional motion analytics such as cycling cadence. It's the perfect fitness tracker for all types of athletes!

This is pretty similar to the TICKR's I've owned, (devices that I loved!).
I was intrigued to try the TICKR X because of the stand alone uses of it. (DOn't need to carry the iPhone with me etc.
It's the same size, fits the same way etc so overall I'm pretty happy with it.
And I do like that it connects well to the Wahoo 7-minute fitness app.
TWO THINGS TO NOTE:
A)
It takes much longer to connect to my phone, in fact I had to contact Wahoo support about this a few times. Now, before I use it, I have to launch the Wahoo Utility App to make sure it's connected via Bluetooth (which is a helluva hassle, and something I never had to do with my cheaper TICKRs). More steps in the process.
B)
the ability to "tap" the device is a two edged sword.
During Wahoo 7-minute app use, I like that it will track my cadence or rep count.
But I generally don't listen to music during a workout and when I'm doing things like benchpress, the bar will often "tap" thedevie (which is a chest strap device), and turn on the music which breaks into my "zone" and I lose my pace.
HIGHLY IRRITATING that I cannot disable this aspect of the device.
Had I to known all of the above I would probably just have stuck with my TICKR. (Which is still in perfect condition and connects far, far quicker to my phone). Anyway, I'll hold onto it as a backup.

This is the best heart rate monitor i have used. Just upgraded to this one after years of use on the wahoo blue hr. Highly recommend this product to anybody tracking their calories burned and heart rate.

This is probably my 6th HRM. I particularly like several features compared to my Scoschi arm HRM and multiple Garmin HRMs. For one, it is comfortable. Also it is easy to snap closed once around me (older folks who need reading glasses know it can be tough to get the Garmin hooked through the sleeve. No spurious beats as of yet. I have not ridden under high tension power lines yet so I don't know how it will handle those. Finally, if you live in a Wahoo ecosystem, it works so so well with the Element Bolt.

Bought especially for indoor treadmill using. After first, second ... 10-th calibration still providing me crazy pace data, 00:30 for km. (it's more than 100 km/h)!
Using for outdoor workout without any problem.
Strongly not recommend for sportsmen with indoor activities.

The monitor works fine, but a snap-clip in the strap corroded and failed, and in less time than it took to wear out a battery. I've waxed the replacement straps snap-clips with chain wax to try and avoid/delay similar corrosion.

My Tickr X was delivered literally 10 minutes before I had to head out for a spin class. So I quickly download the Wahoo Fitness app from Google Play, entered my profile details and paired the monitor, and was ready to record my session. It couldn't be easier!
